The ingredient most used by all Italians is in danger of disappearing: there is a rush to supply, but the price has undergone a sharp rise.
Infernal heat: there is a risk that a product that is heavily purchased by consumers will run out soon. The demand for this widely used ingredient has soared and manufacturing companies are struggling to meet the demand. Before theexponential demand on the part of end customers, companies have decided to increase the price, but they do not guarantee that the same can be 100% satisfied.
There is a risk of a stop in the production of a product in great demand in this hot summer season. It should be added that for the production of ice it is necessary to use electricity, the cost of which has increased dramatically in recent months.
Sultry heat: what are the effects on production?
The Drought which has long been affecting Europe and, in particular, the Italian Peninsula has devastating environmental effects: many wetlands are drying up, surface waters are becoming polluted, plants growing in a low-water environment are unhealthy, biodiversity is at risk, entire populations of species can be wiped out in a given area, there is an increase in fires, there is an increase in desertification and wildlife is being forced to migrate to safer areas.
In addition to these effects, drought has economic effects on a variety of sectors, including agriculture, tourism and energy production. Drought has an impact on thermal energy production and hydroelectric energy production.
There is a lack of water that does not allow to produce enough energy and to favor the cooling of the production process. Furthermore, drought incurs costs for consumers as food and energy prices soar. This also makes it more expensive to produce a certain product that is in high demand on the market.
Drought: this is which product is at risk
The scorching heat, the rising prices of raw materials and electricity and the shortage of water are putting them at risk ice stocks, which are increasingly in demand by end consumers. The request for ice cubes has soared as has the price. Many companies risk not knowing how to manage the affair.
As early as 2004, the price of energy material had risen dramatically and many ice manufacturers were unable to cope with the production of all the ice cubes needed to meet demand.
